    Suppose you are going to parse the word "fascism" just like "racism"

    "Donald Trump’s attacks on Ilhan Omar show fascism is coming to the US" https://www.newstatesman.com/world/...mps-attacks-ilhan-omar-show-fascism-coming-us

    "This Was a Fascist Rally Down to Its Bones" https://www.esquire.com/news-politi...trump-rally-ilhan-omar-send-her-back-fascist/

    Words mean things.
    When people, such as yourself, refuse to understand the meaning of a word, and yet use that word to make a point, it indicates you know you have no meaningful point to make.

    Quick Republicans, John Boehner is on CNN and said he hasn't decided if he will vote for Joe Biden

    Has DT ever suggested using the state to silence anyone, have them imprisoned or otherwise punished by the state? If not then these persons you quote are ignorant of the definition and not the sharpest tools in the shed.

    Are you saying that fellow Republicans are "absurd and ridiculous"?

    Once again you are in conflict with prominent members of the Republican party. Can you explain "logical fallacy" again?

    I read those opinion pieces but didn't find anything in there to prove that Trump is a Racist or a Fascist. They basically just said it and then let their own voice be the proof of what they were saying. Then they went on to denigrate Trump supporters. Like others, I'm waiting for some proof rather than more pudding.

    They have none, as they have so overwhelmingly demonstrated.

    Any Republican care to comment on John Boehner, former speaker of the house?

    Still waiting for you to:

    - Cite the text of Trump's supposedly racist tweets/statements
    - Demonstrate how those tweets/statements meet the definition of racism, as per post #416.

    But, we all - including you - know you cannot.

    Absolutely. It is when you can't support your argument with facts so you fall back on trying to prove it by pointing to other people that believe the way you do, even if they can't support their positions either.

    Hey, this is a fight among Republicans. I am merely citing Republicans who disagree with you. Does that have any impact on you?

    His silence is his acceptance that what you state is true.

    He knows.
    That's why he continues to avoid the challenge put to him.

    Agrees with you about what? That nothing Trump said was racist? Agree on that.

    He whines as much as you, I'll give him that.

    Nope, and it also doesn't make your point as you continue to fail in providing a logical argument for the position you take. All you have is your logical fallacy to hang onto.

    So Mark Sanford disagrees with you. Does it feel like prominent Republicans are betraying you? Are all these Republicans now the enemy of some posters? Look up "white nationalism" for insight.

    If only arguments from authority weren't a logical fallacy.....

    If you are going to ANY politician (literally the least trusted people on planet earth) as an authority, what can we do other than laugh at you?

    Extrapolation is the fallacy used by the left over and over again.
